RANJI TROPHY | J&K bowls out MP cheaply thanks to Rohit and Sunil’s exploits
Jammu and Kashmir dominated the opening day of their Ranji Trophy match against Madhya Pradesh, bowling them out for 196. Bowlers Rohit Sharma and Sunil Kumar were the standout performers for J&K.
Why it matters
This report covers domestic cricket developments, highlighting the performance of emerging players in India's premier first-class tournament.
Auqib Nabi had an off day, but Jammu and Kashmir found its heroes in Rohit Sharma and Sunil Kumar. Rohit claimed the second five-wicket haul of his First-Class career, while Sunil picked up four wickets to bowl Madhya Pradesh out for 196 on the opening day of its Ranji Trophy Group A fixture on Sunday.
In reply, J&K ended the day at three for one, with Avesh Khan trapping Shubham Khajuria leg before wicket off the penultimate ball of the day.
For Rohit (five for 36) it was a satisfying return to First-Class cricket after two years. Sharing his name with India’s erstwhile captain, the tall pacer showed little sign of rust, keeping an inexperienced MP batting line-up on its toes at the Sher-i-Kashmir Stadium.
